Well, I've updated the IKE Calendar with as many as I could find so far. The calendar link is now inside the "hamburger" menu of Quick Links to the upper left. Here are some that are of interest to IKErs:

No problem. There were more than I thought once I started typing them out . . . . and that's a good thing. It doesn't even include some of the long distance possibilities like Wildwood and other east coast / west coast festivals. Plus not all the shops have updated their events calendars . . . .

OK, I think your festivals that have 2016 dates are updated to the calendar and this thread. There are still some on the linked page with 2015 and older dates so I did not add those. Let me know if there are any further updates.

OK, I thought perhaps since Shipshe doesn't conflict with Hoover this year, there might be a chance. Shipshe is always the last Saturday of April, regardless of how many Saturdays there are, so most years, it will conflict with Hoover.

The Macomb Kite Festival this year is Sept. 9 & 10th. I'm sorry I didn't catch it sooner. If it's not too much hassle, would you please update the op? Sorry about that - I should have updated the date in the fall on the website.
